William Saliba joins Nice on loan
Arsenal outcast William Saliba has left the Gunners to join Ligue 1 outfit Nice on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old defender has returned to France in the hope of securing more first-team football after struggling to make his way into Mikel Arteta’s plans at the Emirates this season.
Having fallen down the pecking order, the France under-21 international has not made a single appearance for the Gunners in the first half of the current campaign.
Although Saliba had a difficult start to life at the Emirates, the Premier League club still believe he can become an important player for them in the near future and hope his time at his homeland can help him regain form and sharpness.
